Razorpay, backed by Y Combinator, was started in 2014 by Shashank Kumar and Harshil Mathur, both alumni of IIT-Roorkee. It is an online payment gateway firm for small businesses, startups, and other traditional SME like schools, colleges and training centres.

It is directly competing with Citrus, MobiKwik and CCAvenue among others. Earlier this year, Citrus launched its user centric mobile app ‘Citrus Cube’, that Tracks, Pays & Reminds users of their bills and in January 2014, CCAvenue revamped its website with new features and services to meet the demands of start-ups and next generation eCommerce in terms of scalability, functionality or adaptability. Rajorpay is also building the next generation payments infrastructure which will accelerate the future e-commerce growth in India.

“Our patented technology will greatly help in achieving higher transaction success rates and faster checkout time especially on mobile devices while making payment gateway integration as easy as embedding a few lines of code. The funding raised will help us accelerate the company’s robust growth and future success,” said Shashank Kumar.
